MikScrollingBattleText

Version 5.7.134 is updated to work with Warlord of Draenor Patch 6.0.2 and fixes the font preview issues.

If you are having issues with the fonts "resetting" on initial game load, update to Version 5.7.137.

Version 5.7.138 corrects issues with several triggers like Kill Shot and Hammer of Wrath.

Description:

MSBT is designed to be an extremely lightweight, efficient, and highly configurable mod that makes it easier to see combat information by scrolling the information on the screen in separate, dynamically creatable scroll areas. It is a replacement for Blizzard's Floating Combat Text and Damage output.

Features:

Lightweight and efficient design.

Scroll incoming damage/heals, outgoing damage/heals, and notifications in separate configurable scroll areas on the playing field.

Display player and pet cooldown completion alerts.

Display loot alerts with a total of how many are now in inventory.

Add triggers that will allow you to show notifications based on a variety of conditions.

Assign a sound file to play for events/triggers.

Dynamically create new scroll areas and assign any event/trigger to them.

Output your own scrolling messages with the MikSBT.DisplayMessage function instead of having to create your own frame and animation code. You can also use your own font by first registering it with MSBT via the MikSBT.RegisterFont function.

/msbt Shows the options interface.
/msbt reset Resets the current profile to the default settings.
/msbt disable Disables the mod.
/msbt enable Enables the mod.
/msbt version Shows the current version.
/msbt help Shows the command usage.

Originally posted by Zidomo Yes, Missile Barrage (Mage, Arcane proc talent) is another not being reported with MSBT v5.4.71 in WoW 3.3 live. Same issue with several other mods like SurgeTrack & Scorchio.

The funny thing, though, is that Tekkub's GoodNewsEveryone (v3.2.0.5-Beta, updated Dec. 5) has no problem at all alerting to Missile Barrage properly.

Its also effecting the instant slam with fury ie Bloodsurge or Slam! proc, hope blizz fix this soon lol

I made an announcement regarding this on the Description page. In short, the combat log isn't reporting the procs any more and the trigger rely on the combat log, so they aren't showing up. I've made a bug report post on the official UI forums.

EDIT: that mod uses the UNIT_AURA & COMBAT_TEXT_UPDATE events to determine what to do, which seem to be unaffected by the bug.

In this newest version, my Notification for Sword and Board doesn't work. I've played with the configuration of it, took it down to look for only the aura "sword and board" and nothing owrks. can't get it to come back ;( any help?

edit: just went back 1 previous version and its doing the same thing. i have also used the Reset Profile option in General options area, and sword & board trigger never shows up.

Then you can disable the outgoing scroll area in MSBT (or the individual outgoing events depending on exactly what you want to see).

Felthor:

By default, damage amounts are colored according to their type (physical = white, frost = blue, etc). You can disable each type via the General tab->Damage Colors dialog, but realize that affects all events.

mykjonz:

That's isn't currently possible since there isn't a main trigger event for combo point changes defined.

You'll have to modify the output messages for the various pet events under the Events->Incoming/Outgoing Pet categories. As for the heals, you likely have the event disabled (same place as just mentioned) or you have hide full / full hot overheals selected and you're overhealing your pet.

Thanks, this totally solved my problems!

Unfortunatley i take that back, when i removed the text in front of the dmg, the dmg went white *_* i still wanted to be able to distinguish the pet dmg from my dmg with the colors but noo any ideas?
